Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

I have noted your mother's details.

She has had a major surgery (craniotomy) and it takes time for her to get better. In my opinion, she may take about a week to feel hungry and take adequate amounts of food. In the meanwhile, you can feed her more frequently, giving her small amount of food each time.

Also, try to keep her active, such as make her walk and do exercises. Keep her awake during the day and let her sleep only at nights.

Also, she needs to be encouraged psychologically.

I hope my reply has helped you.

I would be pleased to answer, if you have any follow up queries or if you require any further information.
     
Best wishes,
